Specialist wind turbine services provider, RTS Wind, has secured two framework agreements for the provision of blade services for Ørsted.

The two 5-year framework agreements will see RTS Wind support Ørsted’s long-term blade care and maintenance campaigns across its entire regional portfolios in the UK, Denmark, Netherlands, and Germany.

Michaela Gregory, Global Lead Category Manager at Ørsted, said: ”Our operations teams work with the utmost dedication to ensure our projects continue to be a reliable source of green energy. With the often-challenging offshore conditions out at sea, blade care is a vital part of our operations and we’re delighted to be working again with RTS Wind to support both our UK and European portfolio with their solid expertise in this area.”

RTS Wind is a specialist service provider for the renewable wind industry, offering multiple disciplines to clients worldwide, including Blade Repair, Service & Maintenance, Monitoring & Maintenance, Resource Management, Balance of Plant, and Asset Integrity.

”Leveraging our state-of-the-art technology and industry best practices, RTS Wind successfully delivered a full blade campaign for Ørsted in 2023. From there, we were offered the opportunity to tender, and we are delighted to have now been awarded this milestone agreement, solidifying our relationship with Ørsted as a long-term key partner for blade services,” John Galliford, RTS Wind Operations Director, said.

”RTS Wind’s established blade division has experienced consistent growth, and as a result, we are making substantial investments in both technology and recruitment across the service portfolio. The incorporation of innovative solutions has always underscored our dedication to efficiency and excellence, and we are excited to bring new technologies to our partners this year, including our new internal blade inspection services.”
